I am sure this will be a wonderful opportunity for the scientists carrying out work in diverse fields of Biomedical Research to discuss their ideas, approach and findings with students, peers and faculty of ACBR at Delhi University. I am sure that some very important issues of societal relevance like auto-immune diseases including cancer will find place in discussion amongst experts. I wish the conference a great success. Devesh K Sinha 3 Professor Daman Saluja Director, ACBR Message It is my pleasure to invite all the eminent scientists, academicians, young researchers and students to 11th Frontiers in Biomedical Research 2018 symposium. The conference aims to share an insight into the recent research and cutting-edge technologies in the field of Biomedical sciences. Dr. B R Ambedkar Center has a distinguished record in both teaching and research. In a short span of two decades, ACBR has made a mark in the country and is recognized as a premium institute in the country. Faculty members have excellent academic credentials and are highly regarded. They have been conferred with many prestigious awards at national and international levels. The primary goal of the conference is to bring together a multi-disciplinary group of scientists to present and exchange break-through ideas related to the human health and to promote discussions on recent trends in these areas. This shall not only stimulate the young minds but will further strengthen the research in the Center through collaborations. We’re looking forward to an excellent meeting with great scientists from different Institutes to share their research and enlighten us through their presentations. Daman Saluja 4 Dr. Ajay K. Yadav Organizing Secretary Message It’s give me great pleasure to heart-warm welcome all the distinguished speakers and participants to the Annually organized 11th Symposia on Frontiers in Biomedical Research, University of Delhi, February (19- 21) 2018 in Conference center of University of Delhi (North campus). This been a honorable moment for us to collegiate the event with distinguished fraternity, to discuss more about challenges in human health care. The theme dedicated for FBR-2018 symposia “Challenges In Human Health: Prevention, Diagnosis and Cure” was chosen reflecting the amalgamation in biomedical sciences across the major science disciplines. As our center that started the interdisciplinary course in Biomedical sciences, keeping the soul structure comprehended in a form of Scientific sessions: Infectious Disease: Modulating Genes for Survival, Innovative Technology Towards Disease Diagnosis, Challenges in Translational oncology, Life Style Diseases: Challenges and Directions, Circumventing Neurobiological Diseases, Confluence of Traditional with Modern Therapies, Mining for lead molecules: Novel approaches to drug discovery; were widely been undertaken with exemplary show case of strategically data to counterfeit the challenging complex diseases. We are proud that several of our M.Sc or PhDs students from Dr. B. R Ambedkar Center for Biomedical Research, taught by our fraternity were established teachers, scientist and mentors. Keeping this rhythm and rigor for academic progress, we continue to do the annual symposia for open scientific interactions with enthusiastic approach. We hope that all participants will have meaningful outcome, with a drive to counter health challenges. On behalf of all the members of ACBR, once again welcome you all and thank you for your participation. Thanking You, Ajay K.

Hasnain Vice-Chancellor, Jamia Hamdard and Professor at Kusuma School of Biological Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi “Tackling a super intelligent TB bacterium that takes one life every 15 seconds globally: Challenges Ahead” Vote of Thanks by Dr. Ajay K. Yadav 11:45: - 11:55 High Tea 11.55 A.M. - 12.15 P.M. 7 Inaugural Lecture Tackling a super intelligent TB bacterium that takes one life every 15 seconds globally: Challenges Ahead Prof. Seyed E. Hasnain Jamia Hamdard-Institute of Molecular Medicine, Jamia Hamdard, Hamdard Nagar, New Delhi, 110062, India and Kusuma School of Biological Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi 110016; DRILS, UoH Campus, Hyderabad 500009 (www.seyedehasnain.org) Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), takes one human life every 15 seconds globally and remains the largest cause of world population, there has been no new drug in the public domain, against tuberculosis during the last >50 years, no new vaccine in the last 75 years ago or new diagnostics after tuberculosis skin test (discovered >125 years ago). While it was hoped that with the availability of M. tb genome sequence new interventions against TB would emerge, we only have a slightly improved understanding of the smart strategies adopted by this very intelligent, smart and cunning pathogen. My presentation will describe efforts in our group combining computational, functional genomics, molecular epidemiology, infection biology and clinical approaches to understand the extraordinarily clever strategies adopted by this bacterium, particularly the discovery of molecular mimicry involving intrinsically disordered regions within ORFs, including those belonging to the exclusive PE/PPE family, immune quorum sensing and strategic host pathogen cross-talks. I will also flag some of our recently initiated diagnostic efforts. I will also focus on TB as a Grand Challenge that not only continues to baffle scientists, but is forcing us to relook at our national and trans-national political, social and economic commitments to eradicate this disease by 2050. 8 Session I: Infectious Disease: Modulating genes for survival Chair: Yogendra Singh, Dept. of Zoology, DU IL-1 Pawan Malhotra, ICGEB: Newer targets for drug development 12:15 pm - against malaria parasite and Hepatitis B Virus 12:40 pm IL-2 Kailash C.

As a consequence, in the past fifty years, there has been a paradigm shift in our interpreting the life process. In the process, modern biology had acquired a truly interdisciplinary character in which all streams of sciences have made monumental contributions. Because of such rapid emergence as a premier subject of teaching and research; a necessity to restructure classical teachings in biology was recognised by the academics worldwide. In tune with such trends, the academic leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru University conceptualised the School of Life Sciences as an interdisciplinary research/teaching programme unifying various facets of biology while reflecting essential commonality regarding structure, function and evolution of biomolecules. The School was established in 1973 and since offering integrated teaching and research at M. Sc/ Ph.D level in various sub-disciplines in life sciences. Since inception, it remained dedicated to its core objectives and evolved to be one of the top such institutions in India and perhaps in South East Asia.
